St. Paul Peterson with David Garfield and Alex Ligertwood

Dakota, 1010 Nicollet Ave So, Mpls

David Garfield, keyboardist extraordinaire has been a first call session and road musician since the early 1970’s when he moved from St. Louis to LA.

David currently is George Benson’s keyboardist and musical director. Garfield has also worked with Natalie Cole, Boz Scaggs, Cher, Spinal Tap, The Rippingtons, Ratt, Larry Carlton, and Smokey Robinson; produced for Oleta Adams and Flora Purim; and has performed live with Michael Bolton, The Blue Brothers, Brenda Russell and Rick Braun.

Joining David will be Glasgow native Alex Ligertwood, former lead singer for Santana, Jeff Beck and Brian Auger.

David and Alex have been working together all over the world, including the Java Jazz Festival in Jakarta, Indonesia. They blend Pop and Jazz with R&B and Latin for a truly unique musical presentation covering everything from sensitive ballads to foot-stomping soul classics.

Their music goes beyond the confines of a traditional jazz or smooth jazz show. Their sets will include songs from the catalogs of such greats as Steely Dan, the Beatles, Al Green as well as Santana.

Also joining on bass and vocals is Paul Peterson, aka St Paul Peterson; a part of the Peterson Family, known as the First Family of Music in Minnesota. Paul first met David when they played together with the legendary Boz Scaggs. Jason Peterson DeLaire also belongs to that same family, and will be joining them on saxophone. Jason is currently on the road with Michael Bolton. Rounding out the band will be Petar Janjic on drums (Dr Mambo’s Combo, Acoustic Alchemy, Nachito Hererra,)
